Technical Demonstration Programs
Registration required.
- Aliasing Demonstration
- Demonstrates principles of aliasing, spectral folding, and the reduction of aliasing errors with an analog low-pass (anti-alias) filter.
- AC-Coupling Demonstration
- Demonstrates the effect of AC-Coupling a sine and square signal with and without offset.
- Convolution Demonstration
- Demonstrates the Convolution Process.
- dB Calculator
- Calculates magnitude ratios and their equivalent decibels.
- Digitizing Error Demonstration
- Demonstrates the effect of digitization of data.
- DoF-Chi2 Calculator
- Calculates a table of Gaussian-random-calculation reliability as a function of Confidence and Degrees of Freedom.
- Filter & Alias Analyzer
- Provides a general alias-protection analysis for a variety of popular analog low-pass filters.
- Fourier Transform Demonstration
- Demonstrates the calculations and the resulting filter shape of a single Fourier-Transform filter at 10 waves/buffer.
- Interpolation Demonstration
- Demonstrates the use of interpolation/resampling on a tachometer pulse acquired at 100,000 samples/second. The program reconstructs the time history by calculating the number of points requested between the original (acquired) values.
- Leakage Demonstration
- Demonstrates leakage of the Fourier-Transform filtering operation and the effect of applying several windows to the input time history.
- Non-Linearity Demonstration (formerly Distortion Demonstration)
- Demonstrates the effects of several types of non-linearity on the time history and spectrum of a sine wave.
- Polynomial Fit Demonstration
- Demonstrates the fitting of data sets (including calibrations) with Polynomial Curves.
- Power Spectral Density Calculator
- A general-purpose Power Spectral Density Design and Calculation Tool.
- Pulse-Alias Demonstration
- Demonstrates the effect of undersampling (violating Shannon’s rule) on a Pulse Time History.
- Running-Average Filter Demonstration
- Demonstrates the effect on the time history and spectrum of a running-average (convolution) filter.
- Shock-Alias Demonstration
- Demonstrates the effect of undersampling (violating Shannon’s rule) on a broadband Pyroshock Time History.
- Shock Filter Effects Demonstration
- Demonstrates the effect of low-pass filtering on a high-frequency shock time history and the need for large headroom for shock and other tests that have significant “out-of-band” response.
- Shock Saturation & Correction Demonstration
- Demonstrates the effect of saturation of signal and slew rate of out-of-band energy on a high-frequency shock time history and the need for large headroom for shock and other tests that have significant “out-of-band” frequency response.
- Sigma Delta ADC Demonstration
- Demonstrates the Sigma-Delta Analog-to-Digital Converter process.
- Signal-Sound Demonstration
- Demonstrates audibly and graphically (in time and spectral form) a variety of waveforms.
- Sine Sweep System Characterization Program
- Characterizes the in-band-frequency behavior of a data acquisition system.
- Spectral Plot Format Demonstration
- Demonstrates the effect of selecting linear or logarithmic frequency scales and linear, logarithmic, or dB magnitude scales on spectral plots.
- Square Wave Fourier and Butterworth Filter Demonstration
- Demonstrates the effect of several “perfect” low-pass filters on a square wave.
